In the August 23, 1896 issue of the New York Journal
an article detailing the existence of ancient giants.
"In 1868, while excavating, they came upon the tracks of marsh birds, then at a depth of five meters found the bones of a mastodon, and then the tracks which have aroused much more interest
and discussion. Several hundred human footprints made in soft clay many thousands of years
ago in world history and preserved
thanks to the overlying metamorphic rock. The footprints are 53 cm long." The article goes on to talk about the discovery of a footprint of 73 cm in length.
Do you think they were examined? Buried it back up🥲

The photo shows a sleeve from a Mexican museum. It is unknown how the ancestors managed to create such delicate objects from a material that is reluctant to yield to modern equipment. The sleeve, by the way, is made of obsidian, which is barely as strong as granite, but is very brittle and fragile. To create a transparent piece of complex shape out of it is really an art worthy of a museum🤔

Crop circles bring a smile to the faces of many critics of conspiracy theories. Perhaps even more so than tinfoil hats. We could agree that this is just a hoax today, when the technical capabilities allow us to see drawings from copters and airplanes. But the slim excuses of the "officials" break down our slim argument.
Here is a simple fact: the crop circles appeared long before the planes!
The main evidence is an engraving on wood, carved according to OFFICIAL data in 1678. Scholars themselves have deciphered it as an eyewitness sketch. The oat stalks on it are being mowed by anyone, but certainly not by a man. The officials, of course, have already changed their shoes, but the archives still hold the old scientists' reports.

Hunters found a giant mummy near San Diego, USA in 1895.
The mummy was studied at the Smithsonian and the results were shared with the public. The authenticity was confirmed by the museum's chief anatomist Professor Lucas as well as Professor McGee.
A year later, the aforementioned specialists issued a statement that the mummy was a fake. The public demanded an independent examination. The answer was: "The mummy was destroyed because it is a fake and does not represent any value or scientific interest".

J. Fraser collected evidence of the Flood in South, Central, and North America
Among the myths of Native American tribes there is often the theme of the Flood.
There are even floods. For example, in the "Codex Chimalpoc":
"The sky approached the earth and in one day everything perished. Even the mountains disappeared under water. It is said that the rocks we see now covered the whole earth and the mountains rose red."
In "Popol-Vuh," the priests of the Kiché Indians, "The face of the earth darkened, and black rain began to fall; a downpour by day and a downpour by night. Thick tar spilled from the sky."
Among the Indians of the Amazon basin, legend tells us that there was a terrible roar and rumble, everything was plunged into darkness, and then a downpour came upon the earth, which flooded the whole world: "The water rose to a great height and the whole earth was submerged in water. The darkness and the downpour never stopped."

The Great Wall of China, the Great Wall of Gorgan - scientists have long since figured out who and when was involved in the construction and restoration of grandiose structures. But when and who built the third Great Wall - Kelasur in Abkhazia - is still unknown.❕
This "baby" is only 160 km. long. Till now have survived about 200 towers, each of them 8 to 15 meters high.
This grandiose fortification is considered one of the most mysterious and controversial structures of the Caucasus. Scientists have been studying the wall for more than a century, but so far they have not been able to answer the question "who and when?", the range of dates of construction is from the 6th to the 17th century.
To miss an entire fortress in the annals of history - it takes some skill. There must be evidence of the construction - the allocation of money from the treasury, the name of the ruler who started the construction of the century, the name of the opponents, records of sieges and attacks of the fortress by enemies (not

Because of global warming, Antarctica reveals the secrets stored in its snow. On the surface of Antarctica, the melting ice revealed a huge face. The sight has caused indescribable excitement. The face looks like a huge ancient sculpture, not shown before on Google Earth maps.
And indeed in this picture we can see the clear contours of one eye, nose and mouth. Many people say that this picture is an ancient artifact. There are also skeptics, who argue that such a drawing could have been made by the winds, because nature is one of the best artists.So what is natural or artificial?
By the way, you can see for yourself that there really is a face. Just go to these coordinates

According to history, in the 10th-14th centuries more than 2,500 Buddhist pagodas and temples were built in Myanmar, which successfully survived the world wars. But in 2016 there was a major earthquake📜
Next comes a story in the spirit of Palmyra, destroyed by terrorists: the collapsed brick stupa is pierced with rebar. What was brickwork reinforced for in the 10th century? Where did advanced metallurgy come from at the time?

Roman heating worked like this: hot gases were vented into cavities in the walls and floor, heating the dwelling, only then leaving through a chimney out of the house. But this system consisted of fireclay bricks, found by archaeologists.
The problem is that fireclay bricks are fired at temperatures of 1.300-1.500 ° C in rotary kilns.
No idea, how could an ancient Roman get it, if firewood produces a maximum of 900°C, and coal - 1,200°C? Not enough temperature! And it became possible to get this kind of temperature closer to the 15th century. The Romans just didn't know they didn't have the right technology. Or the dating is wrong by a thousand and a half years.

With millions of tons of hand-carved stone, the Egyptians had to make mistakes sooner or later. But the stelae, sarcophagi and blocks are perfectly chiseled, the angles are accurate to 1 degree, and the grinding has been preserved for thousands of years. But some of the blocks have marks on them that look like a bolt cutter. Scientists try to ignore them or give dubious versions about copper and abrasive📜
How did the chisel have to slip off to draw long, even lines?

If you think that the Trinity is an exclusively orthodox object of veneration, you are deeply mistaken❕
"The Buddhist triad" is an ancient image of the Buddha himself, the Buddha of the future, and the Bodhisattva of Light. Such images and triads of deities are far from uncommon in various religions. And the newly born Christianity has only combined the most successful ideas of the past.

Dwarves, fairies, and subterranean dwarfs really existed before the 18th century🤔
The Skara Brae settlement was dug up in Scotland after a hurricane in the 1920s. The settlement was founded before 3100 B.C. and had existed for about 600 years. The stone walls, beds, ceilings and doorways were designed for occupants up to one meter tall.
In size, the people copied Egyptian, Italian and Slavic dwarfs, and in Britain itself gnomes, elves, fairies and leprechauns make up a huge part of the cultural heritage. More recently, the archaeological part as well📜

Giovanni Battista Fiorini's 1563 fresco depicts giants and men. If historians call the drawings of giants "the gods and nobles painted this way," does that mean there was one slave for the whole city? Or is this a city of gods?
In any case, these giants look harmonious against the background of ancient architecture, but the little man in height looks more like a modern man🤔

Three ingredients are needed to make gunpowder: saltpeter, sulfur and coal. There has always been coal in China. Until the 18th century, native sulphur was only available at the mouth of the volcano Etna, in Sicily. The nearest deposit of saltpeter was on the island of Ceylon. In the Mendeleev Table, only saltpeter and sulphur may be components of black powder, while all other explosives are explosive, which would blow any cannon to pieces.
How could China invent gunpowder with only 1 of 3 components?

Ancient people had the technology to make flexible and unbreakable glass
References to such glass can be found in Pliny the Younger, Petronius and Dion Cassius. They tell of an alchemist who surprised the Emperor Tiberius.
Tiberius demanded to know the secret of creating flexible glass and ordered the alchemist to be executed. The emperor feared that such glass would affect the value of gold and silver.
A similar glass and plastic analog was recreated by our contemporaries thousands of years later.
